| Career highlights | |
Dion Woods (born January 25, 1982) is an Australian rules footballer who played for the Fremantle Dockers between 2001 and 2005. He was drafted from Perth in the WAFL as the 51st selection in the 2000 AFL Draft and played mainly as a defender.
Tall and athletic, Woods showed much promise in his first year, winning the Fremantle's Beacon Award in 2001 for the best young player and also being nominated for the AFL Rising Star award. His career peaked in 2003 playing in 21 matches, including Fremantle's first ever finals match, as a key member of the "no-name defence".
However he struggled to maintain his form and spent most of the 2005 season playing for Perth before being delisted at the end of that season. He has since continued to play in the WAFL.
